  # duplexify
  
  Turn a writeable and readable stream into a single streams2 duplex stream.
  
  Similar to [duplexer2](https://github.com/deoxxa/duplexer2) except it supports both streams2 and streams1 as input
  and it allows you to set the readable and writable part asynchronously using `setReadable(stream)` and `setWritable(stream)`
  
  ```
  npm install duplexify
  ```
  
  [![build status](http://img.shields.io/travis/mafintosh/duplexify.svg?style=flat)](http://travis-ci.org/mafintosh/duplexify)
  
  ## Usage
  
  Use `duplexify(writable, readable, streamOptions)` (or `duplexify.obj(writable, readable)` to create an object stream)
  
  ``` js
  var duplexify = require('duplexify')
  
  // turn writableStream and readableStream into a single duplex stream
  var dup = duplexify(writableStream, readableStream)
  
  dup.write('hello world') // will write to writableStream
  dup.on('data', function(data) {
    // will read from readableStream
  })
  ```
  
  You can also set the readable and writable parts asynchronously
  
  ``` js
  var dup = duplexify()
  
  dup.write('hello world') // write will buffer until the writable
                           // part has been set
  
  // wait a bit ...
  dup.setReadable(readableStream)
  
  // maybe wait some more?
  dup.setWritable(writableStream)
  ```
  
  If you call `setReadable` or `setWritable` multiple times it will unregister the previous readable/writable stream.
  To disable the readable or writable part call `setReadable` or `setWritable` with `null`.
  
  If the readable or writable streams emits an error or close it will destroy both streams and bubble up the event.
  You can also explicitly destroy the streams by calling `dup.destroy()`. The `destroy` method optionally takes an
  error object as argument, in which case the error is emitted as part of the `error` event.
  
  ``` js
  dup.on('error', function(err) {
    console.log('readable or writable emitted an error - close will follow')
  })
  
  dup.on('close', function() {
    console.log('the duplex stream is destroyed')
  })
  
  dup.destroy() // calls destroy on the readable and writable part (if present)
  ```
  
  ## HTTP request example
  
  Turn a node core http request into a duplex stream is as easy as
  
  ``` js
  var duplexify = require('duplexify')
  var http = require('http')
  
  var request = function(opts) {
    var req = http.request(opts)
    var dup = duplexify(req)
    req.on('response', function(res) {
      dup.setReadable(res)
    })
    return dup
  }
  
  var req = request({
    method: 'GET',
    host: 'www.google.com',
    port: 80
  })
  
  req.end()
  req.pipe(process.stdout)
  ```
